The Tehran resident was only able to contact his family once after the national activist was detained by security forces on July 16.

The most recent military aggression of the occupying regime of Armenia against Tovus region of the Republic of Azerbaijan has triggered several protest in the Southern Azerbaijani cities of Tabriz and Urmia and Tehran on July 16th 2020.

Frightened by the rally, the security forces of the occupying regime of Iran carried out mass arrests before, during and after the rally. The occupying regime of Tehran has always supported Armenia against muslim majority state of Azerbaijan.

Armenians have been permitted to launch large anti-Turkish rallies in Tehran on the anniversaries of Armenian so called mass killings during Ottomans. However, the peaceful rallies and gatherings of the Azərbaijani Turks in support of Turkey or the Republic of Azerbaijan have always been suppressed by security forces and followed by mass arbitratrary detentions.
